Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion
2:00 am
Eileen Flynn (Independent)
This money gets drawn down and it is known to be for Traveller accommodation, but in reality, a lot of it is not. Thousands of euro are spent not on Traveller accommodation, but on waste management. We would not see this in another community. It would not be allowed.
Before the meeting comes to an end, will the Department give the local authorities that definition of "Traveller accommodation"? We know the local authorities do not have that definition and do not work off it.
